Im having nightmares during my pregnancy about deaths, what does that mean?

Mom Answers

Thank you Jesus I am not the only one! I keep having dreams of my husband leaving us ( I might understand dream like this one if we had trouble but we have normal marriage filled with love ). I also dream ( I entered second trimester ) our baby boy died, that we are at dr office and she is checking ultrasound showing me baby is dead. I wake up scared and shaky. I had miscarriage this Summer, might it has to do with it. Also, I had dream last night of me bleeding and knowing it is due to baby's death ad things like that. Thank you so much for sharing all these things!

I too have nightmares about people I love being killed, trying to kill me, being shot, chased etc.... I have been having more pleasent dreams lately though. Dreams about my son being born or loved ones that have passed away visit me in my dreams.

I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first and my goodness at the dreams and nightmares. The one nightmare I remember is about death. There was a wreck on the interstate and my husband and I were going somewhere but they wouldn't let us pass because of the wreck so we got out and walked. I wish we would have turned around and went home! When we got out to walk we were stepping over human remains and blood.... people cut in half.. VERY GORY dream. I woke up so scared and shook up. My mother in law told me dreams of death meant new life... If so why couldn't i dream about a FISH doesn't that mean the same thing? I also had a dream that my husband and I picked up this really pretty girl off the side of the road to give her a ride somewhere and she ended up throwing herself on my husband with me in the car! He didn't do nothing about it like she was wrapping her legs around him and it made me so mad that I asked him for a divorce!!! It really scares me because I have self confident issues!!

I am pregnant with my second child and in my third trimester.I have also had some very scary nightmares.last night I had a dream that I was arrested as I was being placed in the cuffs the officer tackled me, when he did so he caused me to lose my baby.What it means, I'm not sure but I know this is my 5th pregnancy and only the second I'ved carried so maybe it's just telling me it's time for a fresh new start.

I am glad I came across this. I recently found out I was prgenant and last night I had the worst dream that someonre I went to High school with was shooting in a crowd and then at me and I could not sleep let alone with feeling like I had a double heart beat in my throat. I hope this pregnancy goes by smooth.

I am 6 weeks 1 day. I hope this doesn't continue for the whole pregnancy but for the last 5 nights I have had nightmares every night , that my youngest son is killed. Last night I dreamed both of my sons died (pregnant with 3rd child). I wake up in a panic. So I thought putting my youngest son in bed with me would help. I woke up 3 times with 3 different dreams of him dying. With him next to me. I am terrified of something happening to him, I guess I have always been worried (he has autism and I have poured my heart and soul into him) He is so loved I think I wouldn't want to survive without him. So I guess this pregnancy is bringing some light to deep worries that are already there. I just wish they would go away. It is very painful to have these dreams and they are affecting my life negatively:(

A lot of time in dreams death simply represents change; one stage of life is dying/ending and another is beggining. Obviously, theres a big change going on and thats all the dream represents. Dreams are most often not literal. I would suggest chekcing out a dream dictionary. It can surprise you what your dreams actually mean. Scary dreams usually aren't related to anything scary, but to stress or change.

I just had a dream where my husband was possessed by a spirit..while we were in bed sleeping. He turned to me and said in a eery voice "i have a message for you....i love you, but i have to kill you". I woke up in real life and thought that was weird. Last nite i had a great dream! i was shopping and the store was closing...i found 3 pairs of shoes i wanted! I was waiting for my mom to come and see them so the store let her in. Then i couldnt find my purse!! (oh no!!) i found it and ran to pick up another pair of shoes. And then some said to me..."why are you still here? we are closing!" I was waiting for the guy to help me..but he never brought the shoes in my size. i was so angry i yelled..."im still waiting for help"! ......i woke up to my alarm and felt good and bad. Good i found the shoes i've been looking for for years! and bad because i didnt get to purchase them!! hahahaha

I HAVE HAD HORRIBLE NIGHTMARES ON AND OFF MY WHOLE PREGNANCY SO FAR .I'VE HAD DREAMS ABOUT MY HUSBAND CHEATING ON ME , ABOUT HIM LEAVING ME , ABOUT LOSING THE BABY , ABOUT THINGS GOING WRONG WITH THE BIRTH AND THE PREGNANCY . THEY SCARE ME SO VERY BAD , I CRY AND END UP REALLY DEPRESSED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY WHEN I HAVE ONE OF THESE DREAMS . IM 5 AND 1/2 MONTHS ,HOW LONG WILL THIS GO ON ? . THEY ARE CAUSING ALL THIS ADDED STRESS FOR ME . WHATS THE BEST WAYS THAT YOU'VE FOUND TO EITHER HELP COPE OR TO GET RID OF THEM ???

im 14 weeks and i be having nightmares of miscarrige and crazy stuff.. i still have them sometimes. it scares me and my doctor like she dont want to give me another ultrasound as yet to assure me my baby is ok. this is my first pregnancy and it was hard for me to get prego for a while because i have an irregular period. I basically had to take birth control and come off to get pregnant. (A trick i learned if you want to get pregnant but have a irregular period, i did my research) But i want to see my baby all the time, only because these dreams creep me out.
